The feature allows for embedding interactive posts, pushing Farcaster\u2019s daily active users past 10,000.<\/p>\n
Activity on blockchain-based social media app Farcaster spiked over the weekend after the launch of its \u201cFrames\u201d feature.<\/p>\n
The Optimism<\/a>-based platform registered more than 10,000 daily active users over the weekend, and has been on a consistent uptrend surpassing 73,000 total users, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n Driving activity is the protocol\u2019s new Frames feature<\/a> which has become the talk<\/a> of the town across<\/a> the crypto ecosystem.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Frames allows developers to embed interactive \u201cexperiences\u201d in its posts, also known as Casts. Users can mint NFT\u2019s<\/a>, build casinos and games, or insert instant checkout links directly from their feeds without switching platforms.<\/p>\n According to growth metrics platform, Spindl<\/a>, 313 apps launched 526 Frames since the feature was made available on Friday. Reactions to users’ casts are also spiking, according to data on Farcaster’s Dune dashboard.<\/p>\n Farcaster has been taking full advantage of the SocialFi trend taking place across the crypto ecosystem. Last year, Friend.tech<\/a> dominated user activity, and even Bitcoin took a stab at the action with its own version, dubbed Frens Protocol.<\/p>\n The app currently only allows for U.S. numbers or users to pay for a fee to register. According to the protocol\u2019s co-founder, Dan Romero<\/a>, there are 50K paying users as of Jan. 28.<\/p>\n Launched in 2020 by Dan Romero and Varun Srinivasan, Farcaster is touted as a \u201csufficiently decentralized\u201d protocol. According to Srinivasan<\/a>, a social network reaches sufficient decentralization if it allows two users to connect and communicate, even if there is a third party trying to prevent it.<\/p>\n The platform resembles Twitter, and doesn\u2019t use<\/a> crypto for onboarding. In-app, however, crypto powers tipping and other payment options, along with a blockchain back-end.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSocialFi Trend<\/h2>\n
